People sometimes forget to eat, but comedienne Marsha Warfield (who was plus size) said in February 1987, “I hate skinny people. They forget to eat. Now, what kind of stupid is that?” In February 1988, the St. Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch recorded the now famous Warfield line:

“You’ve got to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.’’

(Hugh Downs—ed.)
When I was making my appointment with Hugh, she said, “We’d better make it lunch—otherwise Hugh’ll forget to eat any.”

“Yes, she’s very protective,” Hugh commented. “I guess it’s stupid to forget to eat—but I wouldn’t be that stupid if I didn’t have a wife to watch over me.”

Ms. Hot Tips got a big kick out of watching a rather hefty comedian (whose name she can’t remember) do a routine the other night on TV about skinny people. “I hate skinny people,” she said. “They forget to eat . . . Now, what kind of stupid is that?”
